Googling Former Homes (5)
28/10/06 16:57 Filed in: Web
One odd feature of this odd project is how easy
it is to find photographs of the houses/buildings
I lived in overseas. My homes in England are
proving very elusive. Is it something to do with
types of area in which “ex-pats”
live? Or something to do with the unphotogenic
nature of the streets of identical terrace houses
in which I have, almost invariably, lived in when
in this country?
I lived on the top floor of this building for a few months in 1998. It is on the southern side of Helsinki centre, on the border between Ullanlinna (<—link to Flickr photos tagged with Ullanlinna) and Eira (<— link to Wikipedia entry)
In this case, it’s certainly true that the availability of an image from the web is related to the nature of the area – I wouldn’t have been living in such a place unless the rent was being paid for me by a company I was doing some work for.
Clicking on the thumbnail will give you a larger version.
